Hi guys;

Some questions:

Is this a kit only for the mini-mlll, or can it be used on most anything?

Does it require a particular spindle motor/size/shape, or any other specific
parts and pieces to make it work?

What, if anything, else does it need to be a working z axis attachment?

Thanks.

Bill
